Before scheduling a Fire Drill

This person is in charge of making sure all people on their floor are accounted for during the drill.

If a floor has more than 50 people, multiple FLs are to be designated such that each FL has no more than 50 people to account for.

This person(s) is to have a list of all occupants within their area.

Contact the Fire Marshall for a meeting to go over building specific evacuation details.

The building proctor is to set a date for the fire drill.

Scheduling a Fire Drill

Schedule the drill with Fire Systems Group (FSG) 303-492-0633 two to three weeks prior to the date of the drill.

At the time of the fire drill, FSG will send an alarm technician that will activate the alarm system and then deactivate and reset the system when the drill is completed.

The alarm tech will notify the campus Service Center to deactivate the 911 dispatch and will notify the Service Center when the drill is completed.

One week prior to the drill, notify the campus Fire Marshal Zachary.Niehues@Colorado.edu, the campus Service Center sdesk@facman.Colorado.edu, the Department of Public Safety Michell.Irving@Colorado.edu, and the campus Emergency Planning Coordinator Deborah.Nelson@colorado.edu , and include the time, date and extent of coverage of the fire drill in your message. The Service Center will convey that message to the responsible parties including CU Police Department (CUPD), the Boulder Fire Department (BFD) and University Risk Management. In the message, the Service Center will invite the recipients of the email to attend the fire drill if they wish to do so.

Notify CUPD dispatch (303-492-6666) of the fire drill no later than two hours prior to the drill.
